5 Powerful Benefits To Learning A New Language In 2020

Boost your brainpower – Every language has its own system of rules, structures, and lexicons, which means your brain has to work in new and unusual ways to learn it. All that exercise makes your brain stronger. A study from Spain’s University ofPompeu Fabra revealed that multilingual people are better observers of their surroundings because they’ve sharpened their critical thinking and awareness skills by studying new languages. Learning a new language boosts your cognitive abilities.

Improve Memory – While you’re learning a new language, you’re becoming smarter, but you’re also improving your

memory. Not only do you have to learn vocabulary and rules in the first place, but you also need to recall and apply that

knowledge in practice. That means your brain works overtime to enhance your memory. When you learn a new language, you might also improve your ability to recall names, directions, and facts.

Multi-tasking – According to a Penn State University study, multilingual people are also adept multi-taskers. The theory claims that people who are practiced at slipping between different languages have developed the ability to more effortlessly work on multiple projects or tasks at once. When you’re better at multi-tasking, you’ll be more productive, thereby reducing your stress.

Global business – More and more companies are going international. Sure, you can do business in English but being able to communicate with someone in their native tongue isn’t just a classy move, it can help eliminate any miscommunication. Being able to speak the language can be a huge asset for a business and might just earn you a promotion.

Easier travel – As we alluded to earlier, learning a language just plain makes it easier to travel. Speaking the language helps you connect with local people, learn the best ways to get around, know what locals like to do, and experience a place on a deeper level. Getting outside the tourist bubble is important and learning a new language can help you do that.
